I did mine the day I drove it off the dealer lot in November of 2019, had no issues in the 18 months I drove it. The tech who did the final inspection shared that little nugget with me.
You can unplug the little harness from the battery, takes about 15 seconds to pop the hood, raise the hood, press the release on the small wiring harness, close the hood, and you have accomplished the task.
Check with your local Ford Quick Lane, they did my fronts for $150 plus the alignment for $69.99, used my points to pay for it, cost me really nothing.
Brand new Ford factory running boards, removed from the truck after only 200 miles. includes all hardware. I am in the Raleigh, NC area and will meet somewhere within reason if you want them. Make an offer as I really want them out of my garage.
I just bought my 2021 XLT out of state last weekend, as they were the only dealer that offered less than MSRP. Rebates apply to your home zip code were the vehicle will be registered. At least that is the case for Ford vehicles.
I am with you on this philosophy. I usually pay for my vehicles outright, and it is nice to have the freedom to sell quickly if needed. I have also done the other way. I bought my wife's CX-5 Carbon Edition, at 62 months 0% interests and there was no payment due for 3 months. I just could...
I already took the Carvana offer on my 2019 and bought the 2021, I don't anticipate doing it again, because if we are in the same situation 18 months from now we will be in really bad shape.
Bilstein says to mount so the logo is right side up when on the vehicle.
But now I am curious is there an advantage to reversing the shocks?
By the way if anyone wants those pieces of hot garbage Ford calls an FX upgrade, I will donate.
Same thoughts I had, most chain shops will not, PepBoys, Firestone, etc. So I was pretty surprised when the Ford dealer offered. They did a great job, and the only reason I was there was the dealer gives three free oil change services with every vehicle. I normally do my own service, but I am...
Basically the same as the Truxedo Sentry CT, however I have seen lots of reviews that in the heat of the South, the tape that holds the slats to the top gives way, not sure if they have corrected or not. I hope I do not have any issues with the Truxedo but it has been 18 months , and 1 hot...
Mine did, I was shocked (no pun intended). I was there for an oil change and I asked the service manager if they could recommend someone. He said they would do it no problem as long as they were new in the box. Cost was $150 fronts, $75 for the rear, and $70 for the alignment. I did the...
I have AVS smoke deflector, but this one I am unsure of. It does seem to work and ultimately looks pretty good, but it is hard to clean behind it. I had on my 2019 and transfered over but I may not keep it on. If anyone has any advice I am open to thoughts.
Interior mods, I added the center console tray to make it more usable, this is a must have otherwise you could achieve the same situation by carrying a five gallon bucket in the passenger seat and throw all your crap on it.
I also have a magnetic phone mount. Easy less than 10 bucks, and it is...
Besides the shocks my favorite addition is the Truxedo Sentry CT tonneau cover. Love the matte black fabric and the extra security. Roll up is easy, and cam be quickly tubes if you need the whole bed.
I also got the bed rug for free from the dealer. It is not the one that covers the sides...
I have several floor mats. I had custom blue/black CoCoMats in my 2019, love the look, but I work in construction and they did not keep a lot of the mess contained so switched to a floorliner. These things fit great and have a nice edge to protect the carpet. I would prefer to have the rubber...
The tailgate and grill are just crying out to be filled with something. Since Ranger is spelled out 123 times on the truck, might as well make sure everyone figures out what kind of truck it is.
The infamous tailgate damper, not a need I admit, but it is nice to not just slam the tailgate open. Not sure if it was worth $30, but I figured it would at least add 10hp.
My 2019 did not have running boards from the factory, dealer offered them for free if I would buy the truck. Hated them, they did not stick out fat enough, and just did not like the look. Friend offered me a deal on the Go Rninos with the bed liner texture finish. Easy bolt on and also stick...
